I won't say that getting based in SJU as a new hire FO is impossible because it would probably happen just to prove me wrong, but......it won't happen.
We need FOs in the STL region because they are required by our American codeshare, and they are dropping like flies. Currently we have interns covering and getting TDY pay (which works out to more than first year captain pay, btw) so any new FOs will definitely be coming out here.
On the plus side, since you are required on all legs in STL you will build flight time much faster than in New England where you might get bumped if a flight is full (barring a broken autopilot).
